What's better than waking up to pancakes for the Holidays! I swapped out the milk in my whole wheat pancake recipe and replaced it with Silk Nog and some extra nutmeg for a fun Holiday twist.

Why Silk nog? I checked the labels of all the eggnogs available in the supermarket, and Silk Nog had the cleanest ingredients, and only 90 calories per serving. It's also non-GMO, and perfect if you are lactose intolerant. If you like another brand of light eggnog, you can certainly use it in it's place. I topped mine with a little honey and powdered sugar, but you can use maple, agave or your favorite toppings.

Today I am giving away this cute Holiday pancake set from Nordic, available at Target, so head on over to Skinny Bits for a chance to win!

If Eggnog is not your thing, check out these other fabulous pancake recipes:

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix well with a spoon until there are no more dry spots; don't over-mix.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Lightly spray oil to coat and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter. When the bubbles settle and the edges begin to set, flip the pancakes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.

Makes 14 pancakes.

If using the Nordic pancake maker, use 2 tbsp of pancake mix to make 28 mini pancakes.

Just FYI: I calculated the WW Points Plus for light egg nog vs. regular egg nog at the store the other day, and the light egg nog was the same amount of points as the regular egg nog. This was for one brand, so it may be different for other brands. It was one of those cases where the producer substituted fat for additional sugars. Just something to be aware of!

That pancake set is adorable!! Eating Made Easy is hosting a healthy holiday giveaway all this week with gifts from NatureBox, Stonyfield Yogurt, Whole Foods, Fitlosophy, Peanut Butter & Co. and Pacific Foods.

I am so excited that you posted this today. Another blog I follow just posted a recipe for chocolate eggnog pancakes with caramel eggnog syrup and I was completely drooling over it, wondering if I could save up enough points to make it happen. You could not have had more perfect timing with posting this recipe. Thank you so much!!!!

Great recipe! I wanted to see if you have ever look at BoltHouses Egg Nog, its really good and the lights Nog I have ever found http://bolthouse.com/product/holidaynog. Also, Da Vinci has a Sugar Free Egg Nog Syrup flavor which is really good http://www.davincigourmet.com/products/product_details/?productID=171.Just wanted to let you and everyone else know if they were interested.

Yay! My husband is coming home for holiday leave from Basic Training (recently enlisted in active duty Army) and I have been building a menu for his stay - cannot wait to try these with our family back together for the holidays!!

well....these are just about THEE cutest things i've ever seen! i adore eggnog but my husband and i have kinda/sorta sworn off (with me kicking and screaming) from dairy. sigh. this thrills me that there is eggnog in other forms. thanks so much for sending along this recipe, for the chance to win those adorable pancake presses and for the skinny on the eggnog. merry christmas.

Doesn't it just gross you out when you are looking at the ingredients of all of the things you love and you see that high fructose corn syrup is either the first or second ingredient in a dairy product?!? Ugh *shudders* I'm not a fan of eggnog at all, but my husband is so it's good to see that they have a "healthier" version of the stuff. Did you, by chance, happen to notice if they had an almond milk version?

Before reading your recipe , I didn't know what "eggnog" meant , now I know , in french it is "lait de poule" fowl milk , it isn'nt realy the same ;-)These pancakes look really great and cute and I am going to see the other panckes recipes .Thanks again for all your great and so skinny recipes

This was a wonderful pancake recipe. Great texture and tasted wonderful but I couldn't understand why I couldn't taste the eggnog. I didn't use silk, I used regular eggnog that has good strong flavour. Thanks for another great recipe.
